NOTE: CommandBar is new in Windows 8.1 and meant to serve as the best-practices control for AppBars that are non-custom and use only command buttons. The AppBarButton class is new in Windows 8.1 and primarily intended for use the CommandBar scenario, providing the UI, behavior and accessibility needs to the control. I thought I’d dig a little deeper quickly on the use of AppBarButton since I received a few pieces of email about it. One of those tips noted that a popular use of the styles in that helper file was the AppBarButton styles and the roughly 200 different glyphs used for AppBarButtons.

In a previous post I talked about removing the dependency on StandardStyles.xaml from your Windows 8.1 projects.
